"This is truly a superior book that needs to be read by researchers, practitioners, academics, and other professionals. It is an excellent analysis of where the field is at this time and a vision of where it might be going in the future. In this time of flux, it is a beacon of stability! I highly recommend this book!" – Gerry R. Cox, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, USA“Stroebe, Schut and van den Bout have succeeded in drawing together leading researchers, clinicians and academics who, between them, provide a comprehensive view of a complex and contentious area of discourse that has important implications for us all.” – Colin Murray Parkes, author of Love and Loss and Bereavement: Studies of Grief in Adult Life, 4th Edition"The book provides an up-to-date, state-of-the-art focus on complicated grief. It is addressed to researchers, practitioners and policymakers whose work brings them up against the controversies. While any number of issues resurface time and again in different chapters, the overall effect is not one of unnecessary repetition but rather of a deepening and broadening of understanding. This book makes it clear that the focus on the complications of grief has been positive and has accelerated the understanding of loss, grief and mourning in both the professional and public spheres." – Ruth Malkinson and Simon Shimshon Rubin, Therapy Today, May 2013"Clinicians, researchers and policy makers will benefit from the wealth of research presented in this volume. (…) As a grief counsellor, this book has significantly expanded my knowledge and understanding of grief in all its complexities. It challenges assumptions about CG and will continue to inform my practice (...) It provides an excellent basis for sensitively furthering the care of bereaved people." – Jane Groom, The Australian Journal of Grief and Bereavement, Vol 14, No 3, Summer 2014
